The Fan Blog : Eklund on the Flyers: Do You Think the Healthy Scratch Helps? I Don't.

Amen! I don't regularly post/comment, but always looked forward to reading what Bill had to say.

Lol Hak destroyed Ghost. The same Ghost who has been on a different team every year since he left the Flyers.

Who is the better player, Konecny or Voracek? TK has put up very respectable numbers with a very poor supporting cast.

Challenging thing about writing for the Flyers, is well… what do you write about?

Prospect wise you’ve really got one exciting guy in Michkov, but feel that’s been milked on every Flyer platform.

The on ice roster is redundant, and quite mediocre.

They are a stagnant management group, with a coach that’s questionable.

It’s easy to type a negative BS post like this, but to write articles on the modern day Flyers? Truly credit for whoever takes that on. No easy task.

Same lineup today? Can’t mess with a winning lineup

Ghost is not a premiere defenseman.

Is MM definitely a scratch again today?

Ersson starts in net. Michkov still out. Lineup the same.

As most predicted. It is important that Deslauriers gets his 5 minutes. Still flyers need all the creativity they can get on the ice.

Glad Ersson is back. Imagine if we win the next few? Mm will be sitting for several games.

Torts has done so well with the development of young talent. He's been perfect with Drysdale in the near year he’s been here. Hes really helped Brink, Farrabee and Frost reach their potential. And Foerester is having a fantastic start to his sophomore year! Yeah Tortorella knows exactly what buttons to push with young talent. I’m sure the Michkov benching will have such a wonderful impact on this kid’s development.

And there is an endless amount of people who defend this guy, sickening

If MM is smart he will watch how the Panthers play if he wants to learn anything.

Yes. The way the panthers have been playing so far, he’s about to watch the flyers get pumped. No way this game stays close.

I wonder if Michkov got a passing grade on his quiz? The Flyers continue to gain headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Torts is a coward for sending Shaw out pregame to meet the press. If a HC wants to throw grenades and hides from answering about his decisions- time to go. He did similiar tactics when scratching Couts last season.

Every coach has a shelf life….if Torts cant show progress in the development of the young players, then what are we talking about? If anyone still thinks that’s how a rebuilding team acts …then I’m not sure how to respond. You start (frank)in around with the future …what little bright spots that exist then that shelf life had better be near its end.

If anyone deserves to sit on this team its Brink, he is just awful right now. Michov cannot sit for too long.

If we somehow go on a 4 game win streak or something, he’ll sit the entire time. Absolute lunacy.

Coots was awful, he deserved to sit.

Michkov is already one game too many.
